Over 18 weeks, on average, students in the experimental group made gains of 8.07 points (out of 25), while students in the control group made gains of 3.74 points. They used an immersive video game world that engages students in the instruction and learning of mathematics.

Home of CELLS alive! Data science We’ve all heard it: according to Hal Varian, statistics is the next sexy job. Five years ago, in What is Web 2.0, Tim O’Reilly said that “data is the next Intel Inside.” But what does that statement mean? In this post, I examine the many sides of data science — the technologies, the companies and the unique skill sets. The web is full of “data-driven apps.” One of the earlier data products on the Web was the CDDB database. Google is a master at creating data products. Google’s breakthrough was realizing that a search engine could use input other than the text on the page. Flu trends Google was able to spot trends in the Swine Flu epidemic roughly two weeks before the Center for Disease Control by analyzing searches that people were making in different regions of the country. Google isn’t the only company that knows how to use data. The thread that ties most of these applications together is that data collected from users provides added value.

Καλώς ήρθατε στην ιστοσελίδα wiki του ΠΕΙΡΑΜΑΤΙΚΟΥ ΛΥΚΕΙΟΥ ΑΓ.ΑΝΑΡΓΥΡΩΝ - ΠΕΙΡΑΜΑΤΙΚΟ ΛΥΚΕΙΟ Journalism Needs Data in 21st Century Journalism has always been about reporting facts and assertions and making sense of world affairs. No news there. But as we move further into the 21st century, we will have to increasingly rely on "data" to feed our stories, to the point that "data-driven reporting" becomes second nature to journalists. The shift from facts to data is subtle and makes perfect sense. With this mindset, finding mainstream data-driven stories doesn't take long at all. There is nothing new about pointing out the importance of public data being made available. Thus far, this has made a lot of sense to me, and I have been tracking the publication of linked data and increasing access to public knowledge as emerging trends over at Talis. First, there was data.gov and President Obama's call for more access to government data. Then about a month ago, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown made it part of his digital strategy to prioritize the publication of government information.
